Drique London

Madrique Sanders (born August 2, 1991) is an American hip hop artist who goes by the name of Drique London. He has been featured in the annual Hopscotch Music Festival, Justus League Radio, and has been a part of North Carolina State University radio show WKNC 88.1 [1] and North Carolina Central University Audionet Ch.9 [2] He describes his style as "down south resident, with up north flavor", doing his best to separate himself from the rest.[3] Sanders was born in Selma, North Carolina, and raised back and forth between Queens, New York and Raleigh, North Carolina until he was a teenager settling in Raleigh for good. At the young age of four, he grew a love for hip-hop and rap music.[4] As he turned 5 years old, one day he was sitting in his bedroom watching BET when Snoop Dogg's "Gin and Juice" music video appeared; from that day forward, he knew what he wanted to be. After shortening Madrique and adding London, (which he described as being an off name that had nor needed any explanation due to his self-explained, yet unique, weird style).[5] It was when he moved to Raleigh officially as a young teen, where he attended Millbrook High School, that he started his own high school label titled, World Face Ent. WorldFace's success enabled London to quietly take over the sounds of the local areas as the group drifted apart, from there he would begin to channel success on a single route. After pushing with local NC promoters, rappers, producers, as well as well-knowns from the DMV and NY, London hit newfound success. He has collaborated with Carlitta Durand,Fresh Daily, Like Of Pac_Div, King Mez and Khrysis. As well as seeing cosigns from 9th Wonder , BiG Krit , XV, and Rapsosdy
